I thought i would first talk about the horrible un-happy birthday I had last year.
My younger son was just a teeny tiny new born. And although he isnt my first child, this was the first time i had suffered from mastitous...or an infection in my milk production glads. I had no idea that thats what was happening. I though i was just making more milk then my son was drinking, resulting in painful boobies. This had gone on for about 2 weeks now, with my left boob just getting worse and worse. Soon i started getting a fever, an unrealistic fever, during the nights it would spike to the 104 range. The whites of my eyes were completely red, i mean RED! My joints started stiffening, and it was getting hard for me to move. I didn't even know people could get this type of infection, so i had no idea what was going on. I am a single mother, who knows nobody in the area. My ex lives on the other side of the country, and i was stuck alone in my house with a newborn and a one year old. Not only this, i had just had a c-section (my second. it wasn't as bad as the first), so it was also hard to do anything because of that. I was also still trying to keep up with my school work. Anyways, I seriously thought i was dieing, so i called my aunt who lives about an hour away to come over. She rushed my to the ER, and they told me i had mastitous, had i came in when i first felt the pain in my boob it wouldn't have spread to all my joints. It doesnt stop there! they put me on 2 medications to help fight the infection. I was allergic to both. Instead of getting better, i was getting worse. My ex flew in to help me, but i was so bad. I was swollen and covered in a rash. My fever was getting worse, and i had completely lost the ability to bend my joints. I was once again rushed to the ER. they gave me a steroid shot and sent me home. that did help much. for 3 days my ex was my hero. he helped out so much, i mean really helped out. tasks like going to the bath room were even too hard, he would have to carry me there. it sucked. anyways, after another medication switch i slowly started getting better. so my birthday had passed and i didnt even notice because all the hospital trips.
